This whole idea was vented a couple of years ago by a Dutch retired ex F16 pilot/general and it seemed very logical to me, so again, why not?
Because the costs of setting up and running two different logistics/engineering support and ground crew/aircrew training systems for the life of the system far exceeds the difference in initial airframe price.
